Great fun! I don't think they take themselves too seriously, at certainly not for that gig. Although they all have very distinguishable voices, Don LaFontaine truly had THE voice. And I guess they wouldn't have stopped to pick Ted up along the way, either? Music was wonderful, too.

At the time we made that short film, the five of us were doing probably 90% of all the movie trailers being made.We joked then that if Clinton had cracked up Don's limo with all of us in it, all the other VO guys in N.Y. and L.A. would suddenly be working a lot more.I miss Don.Thanks for reposting this, Ken. It's still pretty funny.

Saw this years ago and it never gets old. And I love how Mark skips along at the end, while the other guys are facepalming and shaking their heads.

There is one joke I don't quite understand though: Why does Don pick up the car phone, talk to Hal Douglas, and then say it's Al Chalk? Were they poking fun at a perceived rivalry or something? What's the background on this?
